Earthquake In Singapore

A powerful 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck eastern Indonesia today, US seismologists said, with some reports of minor property damage but no casualties recorded so far.

The death toll following a strong earthquake that jolted Malaysia's Mount Kinabalu last week has risen to 18 after the final two remaining victims who were unaccounted for were confirmed dead today.

The bodies of an Indian-origin student from Singapore and his school teacher, who were killed in a powerful earthquake during an excursion, were recovered today from Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in Malaysia.

At least three Indian-origin students are among the 13 people who were killed in Malaysia's deadly earthquake while they were on an excursion at the country's highest peak.

Among hundreds of earthquake victims cremated today in the ghats near the famous Pashupatinath temple in Kathmandu, were six of a family who lived in Singapore and had come visiting their village in Nepal. The entire village turned up for the last rites.

A shallow 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck at sea 96 miles northwest of Ternate in the Indonesian Moluccas on Friday, the US Geological Survey said.

A new way of assembling things, called metamaterials, may in the not too distant future help to protect a building from earthquakes by bending seismic waves around it.

A little after 2 pm, a powerful 8.6 magnitude earthquake struck the Aceh province in Indonesia today. Tremors were felt in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and India.

Singapore has detected radioactive contamination in vegetables grown near Japan's tsunami-damaged Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant.The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority said in a statement late Thursday that it found small levels of contamination in samples of Japanese mustard, parsley and two other plants imported from the prefectures of To...
